[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1320131, member: 46727"] The machine is protected by a firmware password which is different from the normal administrative password. Read this [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352"]info from Apple[/URL] regarding a firmware password. Firmware passwords are usually setup to prevent someone from tampering with or changing out the hard drive in the event the machine is stolen. I don't want to alarm you but are you sure the person whom you purchased this machine from was the legal owner? [/QUOTE]
